Nature of Operations | |
Nature of Operations | (1) Nature of Operation Organization and Nature of Operations B&G Foods, Inc. is a holding company whose principal assets are the shares of capital stock of its subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “B&G Foods,” “our company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to B&G Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Our financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis. We operate in a single industry segment and manufacture, sell and distribute a diverse portfolio of high-quality shelf-stable and frozen foods across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Our products include frozen and canned vegetables, hot cereals, fruit spreads, canned meats and beans, bagel chips, spices, seasonings, hot sauces, wine vinegar, maple syrup, molasses, salad dressings, pizza crusts, Mexican-style sauces, dry soups, taco shells and kits, salsas, pickles, peppers, tomato-based products, puffed corn and rice snacks, cookies and crackers, nut clusters and other specialty products. Our products are marketed under many recognized brands, including Ac’cent , B&G , B&M , Back to Nature, Baker’s Joy , Bear Creek Country Kitchens , Brer Rabbit , Canoleo , Cary’s , Cream of Rice , Cream of Wheat , Devonsheer , Don Pepino , Durkee , Emeril’s , Grandma’s Molasses , Green Giant , JJ Flats , Joan of Arc , Las Palmas , Le Sueur , MacDonald’s , Mama Mary’s , Maple Grove Farms of Vermont , Molly McButter , Mrs. Dash , New York Flatbreads , New York Style , Old London , Original Tings , Ortega , Pirate’s Booty , Polaner , Red Devil , Regina , Sa-són , Sclafani , Smart Puffs , SnackWell’s, Spice Islands , Spring Tree , Sugar Twin , Tone’s , Trappey’s , TrueNorth , Underwood , Vermont Maid , Victoria , Weber and Wright’s . We also sell and distribute Static Guard , a household product brand . We compete in the retail grocery, foodservice, specialty, private label, club and mass merchandiser channels of distribution. We sell and distribute our products directly and via a network of independent brokers and distributors to supermarket chains, foodservice outlets, mass merchants, warehouse clubs, non-food outlets and specialty distributors. Sales of a number of our products tend to be seasonal and may be influenced by holidays, changes in seasons/weather or certain other annual events. In general, our sales are higher in the first and fourth quarter. We purchase most of the produce used to make our frozen and shelf-stable canned vegetables, pickles, relishes, peppers, tomatoes and other related specialty items during the months of June through October, and we generally purchase the majority of our maple syrup requirements during the months of April through August. Consequently, our liquidity needs are greatest during these periods. Fiscal Year We utilize a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. The fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 (fiscal 2017) December 31, 2016 (fiscal 2016) and January 2, 2016 (fiscal 2015) contained 52 weeks each. Business and Credit Concentrations Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-payment of accounts receivable by customers is estimated in the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of our customers. Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 54.6%, 56.0% and 52.3% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our top ten customers accounted for approximately 49.4%, 53.4% and 53.5% of our consolidated trade accounts receivables as of the end of fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Other than Wal-Mart, which accounted for 24.1%, 24.1% and 20.4% of our consolidated net sales in fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, no single customer accounted for more than 10.0% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2017, 2016 or 2015. Other than Wal-Mart, which accounted for 21.5%, 21.2% and 19.3% of our consolidated trade accounts receivables as of the end of fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, no single customer accounted for more than 10.0% of our consolidated trade accounts receivables as of the end of fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015. As of December 30, 2017, we do not believe we have any significant concentration of credit risk with respect to our consolidated trade accounts receivable with any single customer whose failure or nonperformance would materially affect our results other than as described above with respect to Wal-Mart. During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, our sales to foreign countries represented approximately 6.3%, 7.1% and 5.2%, respectively, of net sales. Our foreign sales are primarily to customers in Canada. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B&G Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. (b) The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve trade and consumer promotion expenses; allowances for excess, obsolete and unsaleable inventories; pension benefits; acquisition accounting fair value allocations; the recoverability of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and deferred tax assets; the determination of the useful life of customer relationship and amortizable trademark intangibles; and the fair value of contingent consideration. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Volatility in the credit and equity markets can increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. (c) We have evaluated subsequent events for disclosure through the date of issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. (d) For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. (e) Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include direct material, direct labor, overhead, warehousing and product transfer costs. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out and average cost methods. Inventories have been reduced by an allowance for excess, obsolete and unsaleable inventories. The allowance is an estimate based on our management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. (f) Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, 10 to 30 years for buildings and improvements, 5 to 12 years for machinery and equipment, and 2 to 5 years for office furniture and vehicles. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to current operations. Expenditures for major replacements and betterments are capitalized. We capitalize interest on qualifying assets based on our effective interest rate. During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, we capitalized $1.0 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (g) Goodwill and unamortizable intangible assets (trademarks) are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill or unamortizable intangibles might be impaired. We perform the annual impairment tests as of the last day of each fiscal year. The annual goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing our company’s market capitalization with our company’s carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of our company exceeds our market capitalization, we perform the second step of the impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying value and recognizing a loss for the difference. We test our unamortizable intangibles by comparing the fair value with the carrying value and recognize a loss for the difference. We estimate the fair value of our unamortizable intangibles based on discounted cash flows that reflect certain third party market value indicators. Calculating our fair value for these purposes requires significant estimates and assumptions by management. We completed our annual impairment tests for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 with no adjustments to the carrying values of goodwill and unamortizable intangibles. Each annual test confirmed that the market capitalization and fair values of our goodwill and unamortizable intangibles, respectively, exceeded their current carrying values. Customer relationship intangibles and amortizable trademarks are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 to 20 years. Seed technology assets are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized utilizing a declining balance approach over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. During fiscal 2017, we sold to a third-party co-packer our Le Sueur, Minnesota research center, including the seed technology assets, property, plant and equipment, which we acquired as part of the Green Giant acquisition, resulting in a $1.6 million loss on sale of assets. (h) Debt financing costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt agreements and are included as a reduction of long-term debt. Amortization of deferred debt financing costs for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $5.4 million, $4.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. (i) Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and intangibles with estimated useful lives are depreciated or amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Recoverability of assets held for sale is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to their fair value less estimated costs to sell. Estimating future cash flows and calculating the fair value of assets requires significant estimates and assumptions by management. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the consolidated balance sheets and are no longer depreciated. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (j) Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation adjustments relating to assets and liabilities located in our foreign subsidiaries and changes in our pension benefits due to the initial adoption and ongoing application of the authoritative accounting literature relating to pensions, net of tax. (k) Revenues are recognized when products are shipped. We report all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue, including those amounts related to shipping and handling. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Consideration from a vendor to a retailer is presumed to be a reduction to the selling prices of the vendor’s products and, therefore, is characterized as a reduction of sales when recognized in the vendor’s income statement. As a result, coupon incentives, slotting and promotional expenses are recorded as a reduction of sales. See (s) Recently Issued Accounting Standards , below, for a discussion of the newly adopted revenue recognition standard. (l) We promote our products with advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. These programs include, but are not limited to, discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. Consumer incentive and trade promotion activities are recorded as a reduction to revenues based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. We base these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. We expense our advertising costs either in the period the advertising first takes place or as incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $22.7 million, $26.0 million and $5.7 million, for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. (m) We have defined benefit pension plans covering approximately 40% of our employees. Our funding policy is to contribute annually the amount recommended by our actuaries. From time to time, however, we voluntarily contribute greater amounts based on pension asset performance, tax considerations and other relevant factors. (n) We provide compensation benefits in the form of stock options, performance share long-term incentive awards (LTIAs) and common stock to employees and non-employee directors. The cost of share based compensation is recorded at fair value at the date of grant and expensed in our consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period, if any. Performance share LTIAs granted to our executive officers and certain other members of senior management entitle each participant to earn shares of common stock upon the attainment of certain performance goals over the applicable performance period. The recognition of compensation expense for the performance share LTIAs is initially based on the probable outcome of the performance condition based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and the anticipated number of shares to be awarded on a straight-line basis over the applicable performance period. The fair value of the awards on the date of grant is determined based upon the closing price of our common stock on the applicable measurement dates (i.e., the deemed grant dates for accounting purposes) reduced by the present value of expected dividends using the risk-free interest-rate as the award holders are not entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting period. Our company’s performance against the defined performance goals are re-evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout the applicable performance period and the recognition of compensation expense is adjusted for subsequent changes in the estimated or actual outcome. The cumulative effect of a change in the estimated number of shares of common stock to be issued in respect of performance share awards is recognized as an adjustment to earnings in the period of the revision. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The fair value of stock option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized in expense over the vesting period of the options using the straight-line method. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires various assumptions, including the expected volatility of our stock, the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on both historical and implied volatilities of our common stock over the estimated expected term of the award. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, have a 10-year term and cliff vest three years from the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense for only that portion of share based awards that are expected to vest. We utilize historical employee termination behavior to determine our estimated forfeiture rates. If the actual forfeitures differ from those estimated by management, adjustments to compensation expense will be made in future periods. (o) Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of our company are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. As part of the income tax provision process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves estimating our current tax expenses together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe the recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. Further, to the extent that we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a financial accounting period, we include such charge in our tax provision, or reduce our tax benefits in our consolidated statements of operations. We use our judgment to determine our provision or benefit for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. There are various factors that may cause these tax assumptions to change in the near term, and we may have to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We cannot predict whether future U.S. federal and state income tax laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. See Note 10, “Income Taxes,” for a discussion of the recently enacted U.S. Tax Act. We assess the impact of significant changes to the U.S. federal and state income tax laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our consolidated financial statements when new regulations and legislation are enacted. We recognize the benefit of an uncertain tax position that we have taken or expect to take on our income tax returns we file if it is “more likely than not” that such tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits. (p) Cash dividends, if any, are accrued as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets and recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital when declared. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) (q) Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive shares of common stock had been issued upon the exercise of stock options or in connection with performance share LTIAs that may be earned as of the beginning of the period using the treasury stock method. Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal 2017 2016 2015 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Net income $ 217,463 $ 109,425 $ 69,090 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 66,487,403 63,202,900 56,584,946 Net effect of potentially dilutive share-based compensation awards (1) 219,060 216,892 70,927 Diluted 66,706,463 63,419,792 56,655,873 Earnings per share: Basic $ 3.27 $ 1.73 $ 1.22 Diluted $ 3.26 $ 1.73 $ 1.22 (1) For fiscal 2017 and 2016, outstanding stock options of 348,894 and 22,692, respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share as their effect was antidilutive. (r) In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standards update (ASU) that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The new guidance requires that excess tax benefits (which represent the excess of actual tax benefits received at the date of vesting or settlement over the benefits recognized over the vesting period or upon issuance of share-based payments) and tax deficiencies (which represent the amount by which actual tax benefits received at the date of vesting or settlement is lower than the benefits recognized over the vesting period or upon issuance of share-based payments) be recorded in the income statement as a reduction of income taxes when the awards vest or are settled. The new guidance also requires excess tax benefits to be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. As a result of this adoption, we recognized discrete tax benefits of $0.8 million in the income taxes line item of our consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2017 related to excess tax benefits upon vesting or settlement in that period. We elected to adopt the cash flow presentation of the excess tax benefits prospectively, commencing with our statement of cash flows for the first quarter of 2017, where we began classifying these benefits, along with other income tax cash flows, as an operating activity. We excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of our diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2017. In November 2015, the FASB issued a new ASU that requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We adopted the provisions of this ASU at the beginning of fiscal 2017 and applied the required changes in accounting principle on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, $7.9 million of deferred tax assets were reclassified from current assets to noncurrent assets. The update impacted presentation and disclosure only, and therefore, the adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on our results of operations or liquidity. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) In July 2015, the FASB issued a new ASU that simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the current lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. We adopted the provisions of this ASU at the beginning of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. (s) In March 2017, the FASB issued a new ASU that improves the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The new guidance revises how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans present the net periodic benefit cost in their income statement and requires that the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs from services rendered during the period. The update is effective beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We have not yet determined the impact from adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business may affect many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. The ASU is applied on a prospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued a new ASU that simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill, including the elimination of the second step from the goodwill impairment test. The update is effective for annual or any interim impairment tests in fiscal 2020 or later. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In August 2016, the FASB issued new ASU to provide guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues and reduce diversity in practice in how some cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard as of the beginning of our fiscal 2018 and we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new ASU that requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current guidance. The update is effective beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We have not yet determined the impact from adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition, with final guidance issued in 2016. The guidance provides for a five-step model to determine the revenue to be recognized from the transfer of goods or services to customers. The guidance also requires improved disclosures to help users of the financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. It also provides clarification for principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations and the accounting of intellectual property licenses. In addition, the FASB introduced practical expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) We adopted this guidance and related amendments as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, applying the full retrospective transition method to all contracts. We concluded that the adoption of this standard primarily affected our policies and estimation methodologies of variable consideration associated with rebates and bill-backs, product returns and cash discounts. The provisions of the new standard did not impact the timing of revenue recognition but did impact the classification of certain payments to customers, moving an immaterial amount of such payments from expense to a deduction from net sales. The below tables set forth the expected adjustments to net sales, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 as a result of the newly adopted revenue recognition standard (in thousands). Fiscal Year Ended 2017 As Reported Impact of Adoption As Adjusted Net Sales $ 1,668,056 $ (21,669) $ 1,646,387 Cost of goods sold 1,205,809 — 1,205,809 Gross profit 462,247 (21,669) 440,578 Selling, general and administrative expenses 205,234 (21,669) 183,565 Operating income 239,402 — 239,402 Net Income $ 217,463 $ — $ 217,463 Fiscal Year Ended 2016 As Reported Impact of Adoption As Adjusted Net Sales $ 1,391,257 $ (18,950) $ 1,372,307 Cost of goods sold 943,295 — 943,295 Gross profit 447,962 (18,950) 429,012 Selling, general and administrative expenses 174,759 (18,950) 155,809 Operating income 253,995 — 253,995 Net Income $ 109,425 $ — $ 109,425 Fiscal Year Ended 2015 As Reported Impact of Adoption As Adjusted Net Sales $ 966,358 $ (7,479) $ 958,879 Cost of goods sold 676,794 — 676,794 Gross profit 289,564 (7,479) 282,085 Selling, general and administrative expenses 105,939 (7,479) 98,460 Operating income 172,370 — 172,370 Net Income $ 69,090 $ — $ 69,090 |

Acquisitions | (3) Acquisitions On October 2, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Back to Nature Foods Company, LLC and related entities, including the Back to Nature and SnackWell’s brands, from Brynwood Partners VI L.P., Mondelēz International and certain other sellers for approximately $162.8 million in cash. We refer to this acquisition as the “ Back to Nature acquisition.” On December 2, 2016, we acquired Victoria Fine Foods, LLC, and a related entity, from Huron Capital Partners and certain other sellers for a purchase price of $71.9 million in cash. We refer to this acquisition as the “ Victoria acquisition.” (3) On November 21, 2016, we completed the acquisition of the spices & seasonings business of ACH Food Companies, Inc. for a purchase price of $366.9 million. We refer to this acquisition as the “spices & seasonings acquisition.” In connection with the acquisition, as of December 31, 2016, we had payables related to a transition services agreement with ACH Food Companies of $12.6 million included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On November 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of the Green Giant and Le Sueur brands from General Mills, Inc. for a purchase price of $765 million in cash plus an inventory adjustment at closing of $57.8 million. We refer to this acquisition as the “ Green Giant acquisition.” On July 10, 2015, we acquired Spartan Foods of America, Inc., and related entities, including the Mama Mary’s brand, from Linsalata Capital Partners and certain other sellers for a purchase price of $51.0 million in cash. We refer to this acquisition as the “ Mama Mary’s acquisition.” We have accounted for each of these acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, have included the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and results of operations in our consolidated financial statements from the respective date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired represents goodwill. Unamortizable trademarks are deemed to have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized. Customer relationship intangibles and amortizable trademarks acquired are amortized over 10 to 20 years. Goodwill and other intangible assets, except in the case of the Mama Mary’s , Victoria and Back to Nature acquisitions, are deductible for income tax purposes. Inventory has been recorded at estimated selling price less costs of disposal and a reasonable selling profit and the property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets (including trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles) acquired have been recorded at fair value as determined by our management with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist. See Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the Back to Nature acquisition purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation may be adjusted as a result of the finalization of our purchase price allocation procedures related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We anticipate completing the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

We also agreed to assume certain liabilities relating to the underfunded status of the former plan that such employees participated in prior to the acquisition. At December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we recognized $17.9 million and $17.5 million, respectively, in “other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet to reflect our obligations with respect to the underfunded status of the defined benefit plan assets and liabilities transferred to us. (3) The following table sets forth the allocation of the Green Giant acquisition purchase price to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. During the third and fourth quarters of 2016, we recorded purchase price allocation adjustments by increasing goodwill and decreasing inventory by $7.2 million due to a change in our valuation of inventory as of the date of acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we recorded a purchase price allocation adjustment by increasing goodwill by $3.2 million and decreasing other working capital by $2.6 million due to a change in our estimated accrued expenses as of the date of acquisition and decreasing property, plant and equipment by $0.6 million due to a change in our valuation of property, plant and equipment as of the date of acquisition.

In addition to including the results of operations of these acquisitions, the pro forma information gives effect to the interest on additional borrowings, the amortization of trademark, customer relationship and seed technology intangibles, and the issuance of shares of common stock. On an actual basis, the spices & seasonings business and Green Giant contributed $260.7 million and $506.9 million, respectively, of our aggregate $1,668.1 million of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2017. On an actual basis, the spices & seasonings business and Green Giant contributed $28.2 million and $506.7 million, respectively, of our aggregate $1,391.3 million of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2016. Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 (in thousands, except per share data) Net sales $ 1,606,162 $ 1,653,762 Net income (loss) (1) $ 129,712 $ (54,710) Basic earnings (loss) per share (1) $ 2.01 $ (0.93) Diluted earnings (loss) per share (1) $ 2.00 $ (0.93) (1) During the second quarter of 2015, General Mills recorded a $260 million impairment charge related to the Green Giant brand intangible asset. The pro forma information presented above does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have been attained had the spices & seasonings and Green Giant acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of fiscal 2015, and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Neither the Back to Nature , Victoria nor Mama Mary’s acquisition was material to our consolidated results of operations or financial position and, therefore, pro forma financial information is not presented. |

During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, we amortized $17.6 million, $13.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of the amortizable intangible assets. We expect to recognize $18.4 million of amortization expense in each of the fiscal years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. See Note 3, “Acquisitions.” Rickland Orchards. During the second quarter of 2016, we discontinued the Rickland Orchards brand because there was not sufficient demand to warrant continued production. Accordingly, we wrote off the related intangible assets and recorded non-cash impairment charges to amortizable trademarks and customer relationship intangibles of $4.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which are recorded in “Impairment of intangible assets” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. We also recorded a charge to cost of goods sold of approximately $0.8 million in connection with the write-off of raw material and finished goods inventory for the Rickland Orchards brand. |

Long-Term Debt | (7) Long-term debt consists of the following, as of the dates indicated (in thousands): December 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Revolving credit loans: Outstanding principal $ — $ 176,000 Unamortized deferred financing costs (3,778) (2,703) Revolving credit loans, net (3,778) 173,297 Tranche A term loans due 2019: Outstanding principal — 233,640 Unamortized deferred financing costs — (1,012) Unamortized discount — (262) Tranche A term loans due 2019, net — 232,366 Tranche B term loans due 2022: Outstanding principal 650,110 640,110 Unamortized deferred financing costs (12,648) (10,546) Unamortized discount (2,279) (2,719) Tranche B term loans due 2022, net 635,183 626,845 4.625% senior notes due 2021: Outstanding principal 700,000 700,000 Unamortized deferred financing costs (5,206) (6,725) 4.625% senior notes due 2021, net 694,794 693,275 5.25% senior notes due 2025: Outstanding principal 900,000 — Unamortized deferred financing costs (12,535) — Unamortized premium 3,910 — 5.25% senior notes due 2025, net 891,375 — Total long-term debt, net of unamortized financing costs and discount 2,217,574 1,725,783 Current portion of long-term debt — (10,515) Long-term debt, net of unamortized financing costs and discount and excluding current portion $ 2,217,574 $ 1,715,268 Senior Secured Credit Agreement. In fiscal 2017, we refinanced our senior secured credit facility twice by amending and restating our senior secured credit agreement, first on March 30, 2017, and again on November 20, 2017. The first refinancing, on March 30, 2017, reduced by 0.75% the spread over LIBOR or the applicable base rate on $640.1 million of tranche B term loans. On April 3, 2017, we repaid all of the outstanding borrowings and amounts due under our revolving credit facility and tranche A term loans using a portion of the net proceeds of our registered public offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2025. (7) On November 20, 2017, we again refinanced our senior secured credit facility. This second refinancing increased the principal amount of the tranche B term loans by $10 million to $650.1 million, reduced by 25 basis points the spread over LIBOR or the applicable base rate on the tranche B term loans and any revolving loans, increased the aggregate commitments under our revolving credit facility from $500 million to $700 million, and extended the maturity date applicable to our revolving credit facility from June 2019 to November 2022. At December 30, 2017, $650.1 million of tranche B term loans and no amount of revolving loans were outstanding under our credit agreement. At December 30, 2017, the available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, net of outstanding letters of credit of $2.2 million, was $697.8 million. Proceeds of the revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of targets in the same or a similar line of business as our company, subject to specified criteria. We are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The maximum letter of credit capacity under the revolving credit facility is $50.0 million, with a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum for all outstanding letters of credit and a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin for revolving loans that are Eurodollar (LIBOR) loans. The revolving credit facility matures on November 21, 2022. The entire $650.1 million principal amount of tranche B term loans outstanding as of December 30, 2017, are due and payable at maturity on November 2, 2022. We may prepay the term loans or permanently reduce the revolving credit facility commitment under the credit agreement at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to the early termination of LIBOR loans). Subject to certain exceptions, the credit agreement provides for mandatory prepayment upon certain asset dispositions or casualty events and issuances of indebtedness. Interest under the revolving credit facility, including any outstanding letters of credit is determined based on alternative rates that we may choose in accordance with the credit agreement, including a base rate per annum plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, and LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. Interest under the tranche B term loan facility is determined based on alternative rates that we may choose in accordance with the credit agreement, including a base rate per annum plus an applicable margin of 1.00%, and LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.00%. At December 30, 2017, the tranche B term loan interest rate was approximately 3.569%. Our obligations under the credit agreement are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by all of our existing and certain future domestic subsidiaries. The credit agreement is secured by substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ assets except our and our domestic subsidiaries’ real property. The credit agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, subject to certain permitted amounts and exceptions, including covenants limiting our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make other restricted payments, repurchase shares of our outstanding stock and create certain liens. The credit agreement also contains certain financial maintenance covenants, which, among other things, specify a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, each ratio as defined in the credit agreement. Our consolidated leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of our consolidated net debt, as of the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to our adjusted EBITDA for such period) may not exceed 7.00 to 1.00. We are also required to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. As of December 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of the covenants, including the financial covenants, in the credit agreement. (7) The credit agreement also provides for an incremental term loan and revolving loan facility, pursuant to which we may request that the lenders under the credit agreement, and potentially other lenders, provide unlimited additional amounts of term loans or revolving loans or both on terms substantially consistent with those provided under the credit agreement. Among other things, the utilization of the incremental facility is conditioned on our ability to meet a maximum senior secured leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, and a sufficient number of lenders or new lenders agreeing to participate in the facility. During the first quarter of 2018, we made an optional prepayment of $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of our tranche B term loans. See Note 19, “Subsequent Event.” 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021. On June 4, 2013, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior notes due 2021 at a price to the public of 100% of their face value. Interest on the 4.625% senior notes is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 4.625% senior notes will mature on June 1, 2021, unless earlier retired or redeemed. We may redeem some or all of the 4.625% senior notes at a redemption price of 103.469% beginning June 1, 2016 and thereafter at prices declining annually to 100% on or after June 1, 2019, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, if we undergo a change of control or upon certain asset sales, we may be required to offer to repurchase the 4.625% senior notes at the repurchase price set forth in the indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. We may also, from time to time, seek to retire the 4.625% senior notes through cash repurchases of the 4.625% senior notes and/or exchanges of the 4.625% senior notes for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. Our obligations under the 4.625% senior notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by all of our existing and certain future domestic subsidiaries. The 4.625% senior notes and the subsidiary guarantees are our and the guarantors’ general unsecured obligations and are effectively junior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness and to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries; are pari passu in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt; and are senior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. Our foreign subsidiaries are not guarantors, and any future foreign or partially owned domestic subsidiaries will not be guarantors, of the 4.625% senior notes. The indenture governing the 4.625% senior notes contains covenants with respect to us and the guarantors and restricts the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the issuance of capital stock; the payment of dividends or distributions on, and redemption of, capital stock; a number of other restricted payments, including certain investments; creation of specified liens, certain sale-leaseback transactions and sales of certain specified assets; fundamental changes, including consolidation, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of our assets; and specified transactions with affiliates. Each of the covenants is subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. As of December 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of the covenants in the indenture governing the 4.625% senior notes . 5.25% Senior Notes due 2025. On April 3, 2017, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2025 at a price to the public of 100% of their face value. On November 20, 2017, we issued an additional $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2025 at a price to the public 101% of their face value plus accrued interest from October 1, 2017, which equates to a yield to worst of 5.03%. The notes issued in November were issued as additional notes under the same indenture as our 5.25% senior notes due 2025 that were issued in April, and, as such, form a single series and trade interchangeably with the previously issued 5.25% senior notes. (7) We used the net proceeds of the April offering to repay all of the outstanding borrowings and amounts due under our revolving credit facility and tranche A term loans, and to pay related fees and expenses. We used the net proceeds of the November offering to repay all of the then outstanding borrowings and amounts due under our revolving credit facility and to pay related fees and expenses. We have used a portion of, and intend to use the remaining portion of, the net proceeds of the April and November offerings for general corporate purposes, which have included and could include, among other things, repayment of other long term debt or possible acquisitions. Interest on the 5.25% senior notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2017. The 5.25% senior notes will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier retired or redeemed. On or after April 1, 2020, we may redeem some or all of the 5.25% senior notes at a redemption price of 103.9375% beginning April 1, 2020 and thereafter at prices declining annually to 100% on or after April 1, 2023, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, if we undergo a change of control or upon certain asset sales, we may be required to offer to repurchase the 5.25% senior notes at the repurchase price set forth in the indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. We may also, from time to time, seek to retire the 5.25% senior notes through cash repurchases of the 5.25% senior notes and/or exchanges of the 5.25% senior notes for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. Our obligations under the 5.25% senior notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by all of our existing and certain future domestic subsidiaries. The 5.25% senior notes and the subsidiary guarantees are our and the guarantors’ general unsecured obligations and are effectively junior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness and to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries; are pari passu in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt; and are senior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. Our foreign subsidiaries are not guarantors, and any future foreign or partially owned domestic subsidiaries will not be guarantors, of the 5.25% senior notes. The indenture governing the 5.25% senior notes contains covenants with respect to us and the guarantors and restricts the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the issuance of capital stock; the payment of dividends or distributions on, and redemption of, capital stock; a number of other restricted payments, including certain investments; creation of specified liens, certain sale-leaseback transactions and sales of certain specified assets; fundamental changes, including consolidation, mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of our assets; and specified transactions with affiliates. Each of the covenants is subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. As of December 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all of the covenants in the indenture governing the 5.25% senior notes . Subsidiary Guarantees. We have no assets or operations independent of our direct and indirect subsidiaries. All of our present domestic subsidiaries jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guarantee our long-term debt. There are no significant restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to obtain funds from our respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan. See Note 18, “Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information.” Deferred Debt Financing Costs. During fiscal 2017, we wrote off and expensed $0.9 million of debt financing costs in connection with the repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the tranche A term loans and less than $0.1 million in connection with the refinancing of our tranche B term loans. During fiscal 2016, we wrote-off and expensed $2.2 million of debt financing costs in connection with the repayment of $40.1 million aggregate principal amount of our tranche A term loans and $109.9 million aggregate principal amount of our tranche B term loans. During fiscal 2015, we capitalized $14.5 million of debt financing costs relating to the tranche B term loans, which are being amortized over the seven year scheduled term of the tranche B term loans. (7) Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the fiscal year 2017 includes the write-off of deferred debt financing costs and unamortized discount of $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, relating to the repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the tranche A term loans. Loss on extinguishment of debt for fiscal 2016 includes the write-off of deferred debt financing costs and unamortized discount of $2.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, relating to the repayment of $40.1 million aggregate principal amount of our tranche A term loans and $109.9 million aggregate principal amount of our tranche B term loans. Contractual Maturities . As of December 30, 2017, the aggregate contractual maturities of long-term debt are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year: 2018 $ — 2019 — 2020 — 2021 700,000 2022 650,110 Thereafter 900,000 Total $ 2,250,110 Accrued Interest .

Fair Value Measurements | |
Fair Value Measurements | (8) The authoritative accounting literature relating to fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The accounting literature outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under generally accepted accounting principles, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and the accounting literature details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the accounting literature. The three levels are as follows: Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value driver is observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, income tax receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses, income tax payable and dividends payable are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. (8) The carrying values and fair values of our revolving credit loans, term loans, 4.625% senior notes and 5.25% senior notes as of December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows (in thousands): December 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Revolving credit loans — — 176,000 176,000 (1) Tranche A term loans due 2019 — — 233,378 (2) 232,795 (1) Tranche B term loans due 2022 647,831 (3) 652,689 (1) 637,391 (3) 645,358 (1) 4.625% senior notes due 2021 700,000 710,500 (5) 700,000 714,000 (5) 5.25% senior notes due 2025 903,910 (4) 919,729 (5) — — (1) Fair values are estimated based on Level 2 inputs, which were quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active. (2) The carrying values of the tranche A term loans are net of discount. On April 3, 2017, we repaid all of the outstanding borrowings and amounts due under our tranche A term loans. At December 31, 2016, the face amounts of the tranche A term loans were $233.6 million. (3) The carrying values of the tranche B term loans are net of discount. At December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the face amounts of the tranche B term loans were $650.1 million and $640.1 million, respectively. (4) The carrying values of the 5.25% senior notes due 2025 include a premium. At December 30, 2017 the face amount of the 5.25% senior note due 2025 was $900.0 million. (5) Fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices. There was no Level 3 activity during fiscal 2017, 2016 or 2015. |

In fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, changes in state apportionments or state tax laws impacted our blended state rate, resulting in a state tax expense in fiscal 2017, fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 of $5.8 million, $1.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below (in thousands): December 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable, principally due to allowance $ 37 $ 67 Inventories, principally due to additional costs capitalized for tax purposes 2,695 3,097 Accruals and other liabilities 6,806 4,499 Net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards 4,462 9,516 Total gross deferred tax assets 14,000 17,179 Deferred tax liabilities: Plant and equipment (16,224) (20,573) Goodwill and other intangible assets (222,851) (303,015) Prepaid expenses and other investments (8,081) (1,169) Total gross deferred tax liabilities (247,156) Net deferred tax liability $ (233,156) $ (307,578) In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income and reversal of deferred tax liabilities over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, at December 30, 2017. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during future periods are reduced. The valuation allowance at December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $0. (10) At December 30, 2017 we had intangibles of $1,265.3 million for tax purposes, which are amortizable through 2032. We operate in multiple taxing jurisdictions within the United States, Canada and Mexico and from time to time face audits from various tax authorities regarding the deductibility of certain expenses, state income tax nexus, intercompany transactions, transfer pricing and other matters. In August 2016, our company received notice that the IRS intended to conduct an audit of our 2014 tax year. During the third and fourth quarter of 2016, we provided documents and information to the IRS in response to its questions. During 2017 we closed this audit with no changes. Although we do not believe that we are otherwise currently under examination in any of our major tax jurisdictions, we remain subject to examination in all of our tax jurisdictions until the applicable statutes of limitations expire. As of December 30, 2017, a summary of the tax years that remain subject to examination in our major tax jurisdictions are: United States—Federal 2014 and forward United States—States 2013 and forward Canada 2013 and forward Mexico 2015 and forward As of December 30, 2017, we do not have any reserves for uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to classify interest and penalties that result from any income tax uncertainties as income tax expense. U.S. Tax Act . On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which we refer to as the “U.S. Tax Act.” The U.S. Tax Act provides for significant changes in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The U.S. Tax Act contains provisions with separate effective dates but is generally effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. Beginning on January 1, 2018, the U.S. Tax Act lowers the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% on our U.S. earnings from that date and beyond. The revaluation of our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the 21% corporate tax rate reduced our net U.S. deferred income tax liability by approximately $133.3 million and has been reflected as a reduction in our income tax benefit in our results for the fourth quarter ended December 30, 2017. This tax benefit was partially offset by an increase in our blended state rate of approximately $5.8 million and a repatriation expense of $0.9 million. The U.S. Tax Act also limits the deduction for net interest expense incurred by a corporate taxpayer to 30% of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income. We are currently assessing the impact this limitation will have on us. The Securities and Exchange Commission issued guidance on December 23, 2017 providing a one-year measurement period from a registrant’s reporting period that includes the U.S. Tax Act’s enactment date to allow the registrant sufficient time to obtain, prepare and analyze information to complete the accounting required under ASC 740. As of December 30, 2017, we have recorded all known and estimable impacts of the U.S. Tax Act that are effective for fiscal 2017. Future adjustments to the provisional numbers will be recorded as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the period in which those adjustments become estimable and/or are finalized. The ultimate impact of the U.S. Tax Act on our reported results in fiscal 2018 may differ from the estimates provided herein, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, guidance that may be issued, and other actions we may take as a result of the U.S. Tax Act different from that currently contemplated. |

Pension Benefits | (12) As of December 30, 2017, we had four defined benefit pension plans covering approximately 40% of our employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation, as defined. The following table sets forth our defined benefit pension plans’ benefit obligation, fair value of plan assets and funded status recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. We used December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 measurement dates for fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively, to calculate end of year benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets and annual net periodic benefit cost (in thousands): December 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Change in projected benefit obligation: Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 70,425 $ 66,384 Projected benefit obligation acquired (1) 50,939 — Actuarial (gain) loss 14,219 (249) Service cost 6,334 3,325 Interest cost 4,998 2,717 Benefits paid (2,943) (1,752) Curtailments — — Projected benefit obligation at end of year 143,972 70,425 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 74,397 66,534 Fair value of plan assets acquired (1) 33,000 — Actual gain on plan assets 11,148 6,115 Employer contributions 8,650 3,500 Benefits paid (2,943) (1,752) Fair value of plan assets at end of year 124,252 74,397 Net amount recognized: Other assets $ 1,135 $ 3,972 Other long-term liabilities (20,857) — Funded status at the end of the year $ (19,722) $ 3,972 Amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of: Prior service cost $ (2) $ (37) Actuarial loss (20,799) (11,202) Deferred taxes 7,816 4,039 Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ (12,985) $ (7,200) (1) Relates to the spices & seasonings acquisition, discussed below in this Note 12. The accumulated benefit obligations of these plans were $134.4 million and $64.0 million at December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The following information is presented for those plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (in thousands): December 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 59,010 $ — Fair value of plan assets $ 39,956 $ — (12) The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in fiscal 2018 are as follows (in thousands): Prior service cost $ 2 Actuarial loss 591 $ 593 December 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Weighted-average assumptions: Discount rate 3.45 -3.56 % 4.039 % Rate of compensation increase 3.00 % 3.00 % Expected long-term rate of return 6.50 % 6.50 % The discount rate used to determine year-end fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 pension benefit obligations was derived by matching the plans’ expected future cash flows to the corresponding yields from the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve. This yield curve has been constructed to represent the available yields on high-quality fixed-income investments across a broad range of future maturities. The overall expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is based upon a building-block method, whereby the expected rate of return on each asset class is broken down into the following components: (1) inflation; (2) the real risk-free rate of return (i.e., the long-term estimate of future returns on default-free U.S. government securities); and (3) the risk premium for each asset class (i.e., the expected return in excess of the risk-free rate). All three components are based primarily on historical data, with modest adjustments to take into account additional relevant information that is currently available. For the inflation and risk-free return components, the most significant additional information is that provided by the market for nominal and inflation-indexed U.S. Treasury securities. That market provides implied forecasts of both the inflation rate and risk-free rate for the period over which currently available securities mature. The historical data on risk premiums for each asset class is adjusted to reflect any systemic changes that have occurred in the relevant markets; e.g., the higher current valuations for equities, as a multiple of earnings, relative to the longer-term average for such valuations. Net periodic pension cost includes the following components (in thousands): Fiscal 2017 Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Service cost—benefits earned during the period $ 6,334 $ 3,325 $ Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 4,998 2,717 Expected return on plan assets (7,041) (4,434) Amortization of unrecognized prior service cost 35 44 Amortization of unrecognized loss 517 454 803 Net periodic pension cost $ 4,843 $ 2,106 $ 3,119 The asset allocation for our pension plans at the end of fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, and the target allocation for fiscal 2016, by asset category, follows. (12) Our pension plan assets are managed by outside investment managers; assets are rebalanced at the end of each quarter. Our investment strategy with respect to pension assets is to maximize return while protecting principal. The investment manager has the flexibility to adjust the asset allocation and move funds to the asset class that offers the most opportunity for investment returns. Percentage of Plan Assets at Year End Target December 30, December 31, Asset Category Allocation 2017 2016 Equity securities 75 % 68 % 69 % Fixed income securities 25 % 28 % 27 % Other — 4 % 4 % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % The general investment objective of each of the pension plans is to grow the plan assets in relation to the plan liabilities while prudently managing the risk of a decrease in the plan’s assets relative to those liabilities. To meet this objective, our management has adopted the above target allocations that it reconsiders from time to time as circumstances change. The actual plan asset allocations may be within a range around these targets. The actual asset allocations are reviewed and rebalanced on a periodic basis. The fair values of our pension plan assets at December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, utilizing the fair value hierarchy discussed in Note 8, “Fair Value Measurements” follow (in thousands): December 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Level 1 Levels 2 & 3 Level 1 Levels 2 & 3 Asset Category Cash $ 5,655 $ — $ 3,286 $ — Equity securities: U.S. mutual funds 52,058 — 26,179 — Foreign mutual funds 9,143 — 1,390 — U.S. common stocks 10,465 — 12,582 — Foreign common stocks 12,481 — 10,585 — Fixed income securities: U.S. mutual funds 34,450 — 20,375 — Total $ 124,252 $ — $ 74,397 $ — The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of common stocks, bonds, cash equivalents and other investments, which may reflect varying rates of return. The investments are further diversified within each asset classification. The portfolio diversification provides protection against a single security or class of securities having a disproportionate impact on aggregate performance. Of the $10.5 million of U.S. common stocks in the investment portfolio at the end of fiscal 2017, $5.8 million was invested in B&G Foods’ common stock. Of the $12.6 million of U.S. common stocks in the investment portfolio at the end of fiscal 2016, $7.2 million was invested in B&G Foods’ common stock. (12) Information about the expected cash flows for the pension plan follows (in thousands): Pension Payments Benefit payments: 2018 $ 3,311 2019 3,802 2020 4,185 2021 4,672 2022 5,220 2023 to 2027 33,401 We currently anticipate making contributions of approximately $1.1 million to our pension plans in fiscal 2018. We also sponsor defined contribution plans covering substantially all of our employees. Employees may contribute to these plans and these contributions are matched by us at varying amounts. Contributions for the matching component of these plans amounted to $1.6 million for fiscal 2017, $1.1 million for fiscal 2016 and $1.0 million for fiscal 2015. Multi-Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plan. We also contribute to the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund (EIN 52-6118572, Plan No. 001), a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan, sponsored by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM). The plan provides multiple plan benefits with corresponding contribution rates that are collectively bargained between participating employers and their affiliated BCTGM local unions. We were notified that for the plan year beginning January 1, 2012, the plan was in critical status and classified in the Red Zone. As of the date of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, the plan remains in critical status. The law requires that all contributing employers pay to the plan a surcharge to help correct the plan’s financial situation. The amount of the surcharge is equal to a percentage of the amount an employer is otherwise required to contribute to the plan under the applicable collective bargaining agreement. During the second quarter of 2015, we agreed to a collective bargaining agreement that, among other things, implements a rehabilitation plan. As a result, our contributions to the plan are expected to increase by at least 5.0% per year. B&G Foods made contributions to the plan of $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million, in fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In each of fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, we paid less than $0.1 million in surcharges and expect to pay surcharges of less than $0.1 million in fiscal 2018 assuming consistent hours are worked. These contributions represented less than five percent of total contributions made to the plan. Spices & Seasonings Acquisition. In connection with the spices & seasonings acquisition, we agreed to and did establish a defined benefit plan for certain employees transferred to us and certain former employees of the acquired spices & seasonings business. We also agreed to and did assume certain liabilities relating to the underfunded status of the former plan that such employees participated in prior to the acquisition. At December 31, 2016, we recognized an initial $17.5 million in “other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet to reflect our obligations with respect to the underfunded status of the defined benefit plan assets and liabilities transferred to us, and during fiscal 2017 we adjusted that amount to $17.9 million, which consists of a projected benefit obligation of $50.9 million and fair value of plan assets of $33.0 million. |

Commitments and Contingencies | |
Commitments and Contingencies | (13) Operating Leases . We have several noncancelable operating leases, primarily for our corporate headquarters, certain of our manufacturing facilities, warehouses, transportation equipment and machinery. These leases generally require us to pay all executory costs such as maintenance, taxes and insurance. Total rental expense for our operating leases was $12.4 million, $9.1 million and $8.0 million, for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 30, 2017, future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) for the periods set forth below were as follows (in thousands): Fiscal year ending: 2018 $ 10,670 2019 9,772 2020 8,267 2021 6,294 2022 2,053 Thereafter 6,749 Total $ 43,805 Legal Proceedings. We are from time to time involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings involving product liability claims, product labeling claims, worker’s compensation and other employee claims, and tort and other general liability claims, as well as trademark, copyright, patent infringement and related claims and legal actions. While we cannot predict with certainty the results of these claims and legal actions in which we are currently or in the future may be involved, we do not expect that the ultimate disposition of any currently pending claims or actions will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Environmental. We are subject to environmental laws and regulations in the normal course of business. We did not make any material expenditures during fiscal 2017, 2016 or 2015 in order to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Based on our experience to date, management believes that the future cost of compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations (and liability for any known environmental conditions) will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, we cannot predict what environmental or health and safety legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future or how existing or future laws or regulations will be enforced, administered or interpreted, nor can we predict the amount of future expenditures that may be required in order to comply with such environmental or health and safety laws or regulations or to respond to such environmental claims. Collective Bargaining Agreements. As of December 30, 2017, approximately 1,639 of our 2,680 employees, or 61%, were covered by collective bargaining agreements. None of our collective bargaining agreements is scheduled to expire within one year. Severance and Change of Control Agreements. We have employment agreements with each of our executive officers. The agreements generally continue until terminated by the executive or by us, and provide for severance payments under certain circumstances, including termination by us without cause (as defined in the agreements) or as a result of the employee’s death or disability, or termination by us or a deemed termination upon a change of control (as defined in the agreements). Severance benefits generally include payments for salary continuation, continuation of health care and insurance benefits, present value of additional pension credits and, in the case of a change of control, accelerated vesting under compensation plans and, in certain cases, potential gross up payments for excise tax liability. (13) Ortega and Las Palmas Recall . On November 14, 2014, we announced a voluntary recall for certain Ortega and Las Palmas products after learning that one or more of the spice ingredients purchased from a third party supplier contained peanuts and almonds, allergens that are not declared on the products’ ingredient statements. A significant majority of the costs of this recall were incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. The cost impact of this recall during fiscal 2015 was $1.9 million, of which $1.2 million was recorded as a decrease in net sales related to customer refunds; $0.5 million was recorded as an increase in cost of goods sold primarily related to costs associated with product retrieval, destruction charges and customer fees; and $0.2 million was recorded as an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses related to administrative costs. The charges we recorded are based upon costs incurred to date. There was no cost impact of this recall during fiscal 2017 or 2016, and we do not expect future expenses, if any, to be material. During fiscal 2015, we recovered $5.0 million of insurance proceeds. |

Incentive Plans | (14) Annual Bonus Plan. Annually, our board of directors establishes a bonus plan that provides for cash awards to be made to our executive officers and other senior managers upon our company’s attainment of pre-set annual financial objectives and individual performance. Awards are normally paid in cash in a lump sum following the close of each plan year. Threshold performance objectives were not attained for fiscal 2017 and therefore at December 30, 2017 accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets do not include an accrual for the annual bonus plan. At December 31, 2016, accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include an accrual for the annual bonus plan of $10.1 million. Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. Upon the recommendation of our compensation committee, our board of directors on March 10, 2008 adopted (subject to stockholder approval) the B&G Foods, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, which we refer to as the Omnibus Plan. Our stockholders approved the Omnibus Plan at our annual meeting on May 6, 2008. Our stockholders reapproved the material terms of the performance goals in our Omnibus Plan at our annual meeting on May 16, 2013. Upon the recommendation of our compensation committee, our board of directors in March 2017 approved (subject to stockholder approval) the amendment and restatement of the Omnibus Plan, renamed the Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. Our stockholders approved the amended and restated Omnibus Plan, including the materials terms of the performance goals, at our annual meeting on May 23, 2017. The Omnibus Plan authorizes the grant of performance share awards, restricted stock, options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock, stock units and cash-based awards to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The total number of shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan is 4,500,000, of which 2,404,298 were available for future issuance as of December 30, 2017. Some of those shares are subject to outstanding performance share long-term incentive awards (LTIAs) and stock options as described in the table below. Performance Share Awards. Beginning in fiscal 2008, our compensation committee has made annual grants of performance share LTIAs to our executive officers and certain other members of senior management under the Omnibus Plan. The performance share LTIAs entitle the participants to earn shares of common stock upon the attainment of certain performance goals over the applicable performance period. The performance period is typically three years. Each performance share LTIA has a threshold, target and maximum payout. The awards are settled based upon our performance over the applicable performance period. For the performance share LTIAs granted to date, the applicable performance metric is and has been “excess cash” (as defined in the award agreements). If our performance fails to meet the performance threshold, then the awards will not vest and no shares will be issued pursuant to the awards. If our performance meets or exceeds the performance threshold, then a varying amount of shares from the threshold amount (50% of the target number of shares) up to the maximum amount (200% of the target number of shares) may be earned. (14) Subject to the performance goal for the applicable performance period being certified in writing by our compensation committee as having been achieved, shares of common stock are issued prior to March 15 following the completion of the performance period. The following table details the activity in our performance share LTIAs for fiscal 2017: Weighted Average Number of Grant Date Fair Value Performance Shares (1) (per share) (2) Beginning of fiscal 2017 436,554 $ 26.81 Granted 132,000 $ 36.15 Vested (110,528) $ 27.50 Forfeited (20,808) $ 28.60 End of fiscal 2017 437,218 $ 29.36 (1) Solely for purposes of this table, the number of performance shares is based on the participants earning the maximum number of performance shares (i.e., 200% of the target number of performance shares). (2) The fair value of the awards was determined based upon the closing price of our common stock on the applicable measurement dates (i.e., the deemed grant dates for accounting purposes) reduced by the present value of expected dividends using the risk-free interest-rate as the award holders are not entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting period. Stock Options. The following table details our stock option activity for fiscal 2017: Weighted Weighted Average Aggregate Average Contractual Life Intrinsic Value Options Exercise Price Remaining (Years) (in thousands) Outstanding at beginning of fiscal 2017 714,580 $ 31.65 Granted 159,385 $ 41.31 Exercised (4,814) $ 29.10 Forfeited (35,879) $ 32.86 Cancelled (703) $ 34.00 Outstanding at end of fiscal 2017 832,569 $ 33.45 7.67 $ 3,631 Exercisable at end of fiscal 2017 402,835 $ 31.65 7.00 $ 2,216 (14) The fair value of the options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions. Expected volatility was based on both historical and implied volatilities of our common stock over the estimated expected term of the award. The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that options were expected to be outstanding and is based on the “simplified method” in accordance with accounting guidance. We utilized the simplified method to determine the expected term of the options as we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury implied yield at the date of grant. Fiscal 2017 Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Weighted average grant date fair value $ 7.29 $ 5.26 $ 6.00 Expected volatility 27.5% - 29.2% 27.7% 36.0% Expected term 5.5 - 6.5 years 5.5 - 6.5 years 6.5 years Risk-free interest rate 1.8% - 2.4% 1.5% - 1.7% 1.6% - 1.9% Dividend yield 4.5% - 5.22% 3.9% - 4.9% 4.7% - 4.9% Non-Employee Director Grants. Each of our non-employee directors receives an annual grant of common stock as part of his or her non-employee director compensation. These shares fully vest when issued. In addition, each of our non-employee directors is given the option to receive all or a portion of his or her annual board service fee in cash or an equivalent amount of stock options. Such stock options are reflected in the information provided above under “ Stock Options. ” The following table details the number of shares of common stock issued by our company during fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 upon the vesting of performance share long-term incentive awards and for non-employee director annual equity grants and other share based compensation: December 30, December 31, January 2, 2017 2016 2016 Number of performance shares vested 110,528 101,094 153,194 Shares withheld to fund statutory minimum tax withholding 42,368 37,596 58,242 Shares of common stock issued for performance share LTIAs 68,160 63,498 94,952 Shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of stock options 4,011 — — Shares of common stock issued to non-employee directors for annual equity grants 20,559 16,072 18,095 Total shares of common stock issued 92,730 79,570 113,047 Excess tax benefit $ — $ 343 $ 539 The following table sets forth the compensation expense recognized for share-based payments (performance share LTIAs, stock options, non-employee director stock grants and other share based payments) during the last three fiscal years and where that expense is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Consolidated Statements of Operations Location Fiscal 2017 Fiscal 2016 Fiscal 2015 Compensation expense included in cost of goods sold $ 1,203 $ 1,060 $ 1,420 Compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses 3,412 4,738 4,397 Total compensation expense for share-based payments $ 4,615 $ 5,798 $ 5,817 As of December 30, 2017, there was $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance share LTIAs, which is expected to be recognized over the next two fiscal years and $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over the next three fiscal years. |

Net sales for each brand includes branded net sales and, if applicable, any private label and foodservice net sales attributable to the brand. (2) We completed the Green Giant acquisition on November 2, 2015. For 2015, Green Giant net sales includes the aggregate net sales for Green Giant – frozen, Green Giant – shelf stable, the Le Sueur brand and non-branded industrial products. For 2016 and 2017, net sales for Green Giant – frozen and Green Giant – shelf stable are separately presented and net sales for Le Sueur and the non-branded industrial products are included in “All other brands.” (3) We completed the spices & seasonings acquisition on November 21, 2016. Net sales for spices & seasonings includes net sales for the acquired business and does not include our legacy spices & seasoning brands, such as Mrs. Dash, which is separately listed in this table. (4) Net sales for “all other brands” has been impacted by the Back To Nature acquisition, which we completed on October 2, 2017, the Victoria acquisition which was completed on December 2, 2016 and the Mama Mary’s acquisition, which we completed on July 10, 2015. |

This decision was consistent with our ongoing efforts to reduce excess production capacity, improve productivity and operating efficiencies and reduce overall costs. In connection with the restructuring, we recorded a charge for employee severance and other employee costs of approximately $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2016 and a non-cash write-off of equipment of approximately $0.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2016. |

Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information | (18) As further discussed in Note 7, “Long-Term Debt,” our obligations under the 4.625% senior notes and the 5.25% senior notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by all of our existing and certain future domestic subsidiaries, which we refer to in this note as the guarantor subsidiaries. Our foreign subsidiaries, which we refer to in this note as the non-guarantor subsidiaries, do not guarantee the 4.625% senior notes or the 5.25% senior notes. The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the related condensed consolidating statement of operations for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and the related condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, for: 1. 2. 3. 4. (18) The information includes elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent with the guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries are presented on a combined basis. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial information for each of the guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management believes such financial statements would not be meaningful to investors.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | (a) The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of B&G Foods, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. |
Use of Estimates | (b) The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions made by management involve trade and consumer promotion expenses; allowances for excess, obsolete and unsaleable inventories; pension benefits; acquisition accounting fair value allocations; the recoverability of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and deferred tax assets; the determination of the useful life of customer relationship and amortizable trademark intangibles; and the fair value of contingent consideration. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Volatility in the credit and equity markets can increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. |
Subsequent Events | (c) We have evaluated subsequent events for disclosure through the date of issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | (d) For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. |
Inventories | (e) Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include direct material, direct labor, overhead, warehousing and product transfer costs. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out and average cost methods. Inventories have been reduced by an allowance for excess, obsolete and unsaleable inventories. The allowance is an estimate based on our management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | (f) Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, 10 to 30 years for buildings and improvements, 5 to 12 years for machinery and equipment, and 2 to 5 years for office furniture and vehicles. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to current operations. Expenditures for major replacements and betterments are capitalized. We capitalize interest on qualifying assets based on our effective interest rate. During fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, we capitalized $1.0 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | (g) Goodwill and unamortizable intangible assets (trademarks) are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill or unamortizable intangibles might be impaired. We perform the annual impairment tests as of the last day of each fiscal year. The annual goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing our company’s market capitalization with our company’s carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of our company exceeds our market capitalization, we perform the second step of the impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying value and recognizing a loss for the difference. We test our unamortizable intangibles by comparing the fair value with the carrying value and recognize a loss for the difference. We estimate the fair value of our unamortizable intangibles based on discounted cash flows that reflect certain third party market value indicators. Calculating our fair value for these purposes requires significant estimates and assumptions by management. We completed our annual impairment tests for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 with no adjustments to the carrying values of goodwill and unamortizable intangibles. Each annual test confirmed that the market capitalization and fair values of our goodwill and unamortizable intangibles, respectively, exceeded their current carrying values. Customer relationship intangibles and amortizable trademarks are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 to 20 years. Seed technology assets are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized utilizing a declining balance approach over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. During fiscal 2017, we sold to a third-party co-packer our Le Sueur, Minnesota research center, including the seed technology assets, property, plant and equipment, which we acquired as part of the Green Giant acquisition, resulting in a $1.6 million loss on sale of assets. |
Deferred Debt Financing Costs | (h) Debt financing costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt agreements and are included as a reduction of long-term debt. Amortization of deferred debt financing costs for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $5.4 million, $4.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. |
Long-Lived Assets | (i) Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and intangibles with estimated useful lives are depreciated or amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Recoverability of assets held for sale is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to their fair value less estimated costs to sell. Estimating future cash flows and calculating the fair value of assets requires significant estimates and assumptions by management. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the consolidated balance sheets and are no longer depreciated. |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss | (j) Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation adjustments relating to assets and liabilities located in our foreign subsidiaries and changes in our pension benefits due to the initial adoption and ongoing application of the authoritative accounting literature relating to pensions, net of tax. |
Revenue Recognition | (k) Revenues are recognized when products are shipped. We report all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue, including those amounts related to shipping and handling. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Consideration from a vendor to a retailer is presumed to be a reduction to the selling prices of the vendor’s products and, therefore, is characterized as a reduction of sales when recognized in the vendor’s income statement. As a result, coupon incentives, slotting and promotional expenses are recorded as a reduction of sales. See (s) Recently Issued Accounting Standards , below, for a discussion of the newly adopted revenue recognition standard. |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | (l) We promote our products with advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. These programs include, but are not limited to, discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. Consumer incentive and trade promotion activities are recorded as a reduction to revenues based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. We base these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. We expense our advertising costs either in the period the advertising first takes place or as incurred. Advertising expenses were approximately $22.7 million, $26.0 million and $5.7 million, for fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
Pension Plans | (m) We have defined benefit pension plans covering approximately 40% of our employees. Our funding policy is to contribute annually the amount recommended by our actuaries. From time to time, however, we voluntarily contribute greater amounts based on pension asset performance, tax considerations and other relevant factors. |
Share Based Compensation Expense | (n) We provide compensation benefits in the form of stock options, performance share long-term incentive awards (LTIAs) and common stock to employees and non-employee directors. The cost of share based compensation is recorded at fair value at the date of grant and expensed in our consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period, if any. Performance share LTIAs granted to our executive officers and certain other members of senior management entitle each participant to earn shares of common stock upon the attainment of certain performance goals over the applicable performance period. The recognition of compensation expense for the performance share LTIAs is initially based on the probable outcome of the performance condition based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and the anticipated number of shares to be awarded on a straight-line basis over the applicable performance period. The fair value of the awards on the date of grant is determined based upon the closing price of our common stock on the applicable measurement dates (i.e., the deemed grant dates for accounting purposes) reduced by the present value of expected dividends using the risk-free interest-rate as the award holders are not entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting period. Our company’s performance against the defined performance goals are re-evaluated on a quarterly basis throughout the applicable performance period and the recognition of compensation expense is adjusted for subsequent changes in the estimated or actual outcome. The cumulative effect of a change in the estimated number of shares of common stock to be issued in respect of performance share awards is recognized as an adjustment to earnings in the period of the revision. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The fair value of stock option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized in expense over the vesting period of the options using the straight-line method. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires various assumptions, including the expected volatility of our stock, the expected term of the option, the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on both historical and implied volatilities of our common stock over the estimated expected term of the award. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, have a 10-year term and cliff vest three years from the date of grant. We recognize compensation expense for only that portion of share based awards that are expected to vest. We utilize historical employee termination behavior to determine our estimated forfeiture rates. If the actual forfeitures differ from those estimated by management, adjustments to compensation expense will be made in future periods. |
Income Tax Expense Estimates and Policies | (o) Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of our company are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. As part of the income tax provision process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves estimating our current tax expenses together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe the recovery is not likely, we establish a valuation allowance. Further, to the extent that we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a financial accounting period, we include such charge in our tax provision, or reduce our tax benefits in our consolidated statements of operations. We use our judgment to determine our provision or benefit for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. There are various factors that may cause these tax assumptions to change in the near term, and we may have to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We cannot predict whether future U.S. federal and state income tax laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. See Note 10, “Income Taxes,” for a discussion of the recently enacted U.S. Tax Act. We assess the impact of significant changes to the U.S. federal and state income tax laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our consolidated financial statements when new regulations and legislation are enacted. We recognize the benefit of an uncertain tax position that we have taken or expect to take on our income tax returns we file if it is “more likely than not” that such tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits. |
Dividends | (p) Cash dividends, if any, are accrued as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets and recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital when declared. |
Earnings Per Share | (q) Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive shares of common stock had been issued upon the exercise of stock options or in connection with performance share LTIAs that may be earned as of the beginning of the period using the treasury stock method. Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal 2017 2016 2015 (in thousands, except share and per share data) Net income $ 217,463 $ 109,425 $ 69,090 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 66,487,403 63,202,900 56,584,946 Net effect of potentially dilutive share-based compensation awards (1) 219,060 216,892 70,927 Diluted 66,706,463 63,419,792 56,655,873 Earnings per share: Basic $ 3.27 $ 1.73 $ 1.22 Diluted $ 3.26 $ 1.73 $ 1.22 (1) For fiscal 2017 and 2016, outstanding stock options of 348,894 and 22,692, respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share as their effect was antidilutive. |
Newly Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | (r) In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standards update (ASU) that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The new guidance requires that excess tax benefits (which represent the excess of actual tax benefits received at the date of vesting or settlement over the benefits recognized over the vesting period or upon issuance of share-based payments) and tax deficiencies (which represent the amount by which actual tax benefits received at the date of vesting or settlement is lower than the benefits recognized over the vesting period or upon issuance of share-based payments) be recorded in the income statement as a reduction of income taxes when the awards vest or are settled. The new guidance also requires excess tax benefits to be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. As a result of this adoption, we recognized discrete tax benefits of $0.8 million in the income taxes line item of our consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2017 related to excess tax benefits upon vesting or settlement in that period. We elected to adopt the cash flow presentation of the excess tax benefits prospectively, commencing with our statement of cash flows for the first quarter of 2017, where we began classifying these benefits, along with other income tax cash flows, as an operating activity. We excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of our diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2017. In November 2015, the FASB issued a new ASU that requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2017. We adopted the provisions of this ASU at the beginning of fiscal 2017 and applied the required changes in accounting principle on a retrospective basis. Accordingly, in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, $7.9 million of deferred tax assets were reclassified from current assets to noncurrent assets. The update impacted presentation and disclosure only, and therefore, the adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on our results of operations or liquidity. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) In July 2015, the FASB issued a new ASU that simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the current lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. We adopted the provisions of this ASU at the beginning of fiscal 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. (s) In March 2017, the FASB issued a new ASU that improves the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The new guidance revises how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans present the net periodic benefit cost in their income statement and requires that the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs from services rendered during the period. The update is effective beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We have not yet determined the impact from adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business may affect many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. The ASU is applied on a prospective basis and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, and there was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued a new ASU that simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill, including the elimination of the second step from the goodwill impairment test. The update is effective for annual or any interim impairment tests in fiscal 2020 or later. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In August 2016, the FASB issued new ASU to provide guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues and reduce diversity in practice in how some cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard as of the beginning of our fiscal 2018 and we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new ASU that requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under current guidance. The update is effective beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We have not yet determined the impact from adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition, with final guidance issued in 2016. The guidance provides for a five-step model to determine the revenue to be recognized from the transfer of goods or services to customers. The guidance also requires improved disclosures to help users of the financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. It also provides clarification for principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations and the accounting of intellectual property licenses. In addition, the FASB introduced practical expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) We adopted this guidance and related amendments as of the first quarter of fiscal 2018, applying the full retrospective transition method to all contracts. We concluded that the adoption of this standard primarily affected our policies and estimation methodologies of variable consideration associated with rebates and bill-backs, product returns and cash discounts. The provisions of the new standard did not impact the timing of revenue recognition but did impact the classification of certain payments to customers, moving an immaterial amount of such payments from expense to a deduction from net sales. The below tables set forth the expected adjustments to net sales, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015 as a result of the newly adopted revenue recognition standard (in thousands).
